Domotex 2018 to Spotlight Innovative Woven Textiles for Carpet Design
Contemporary designers and carpet manufacturers are still finding ways of creating innovative textiles. A combination of the traditional weaver’s art, design, and customized production methods of contemporary carpets and rugs provide insight into the keynote theme for Domotex 2018, Unique Youniverse.
At this year’s Domotex in Hannover, Germany, Simone Post was the winner in the “Best Design in Studio Artist Rugs” category of the Carpet Design Awards (CDA) for her Vlisco Rug. With this project, the young Dutch designer not only highlights the many exciting possibilities for upcycling scrap materials, but also channels an entirely new aesthetic for “floor tapestries.”
